Two-step verification asks for a code from your phone every time you sign in. If someone steals your password, they still can’t get into your account. It takes about a minute to set up.

Difficulty

Beginner

Time

2 minutes

Before you start

Install an authenticator app on your phone, such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy or 1Password. Keep your Game Panel password handy, as you need it to finish.

Turn on two-step verification

1

Open your account

2

Start the setup

Click Turn on in the yellow Turn on two-step verification banner, or scroll down and click Enable Two-Step.
3

Scan the QR code

Open your authenticator app, add a new account and scan the QR code. If you can’t scan it, type the text code shown under the QR code into the app instead.
Enable Two-Step Verification window with a QR code, a text code, a field for the 6-digit code, an Account Password field and Cancel and Enable buttons

The Enable Two-Step Verification window (QR code hidden in this example)

4

Enter the 6-digit code

Type the 6-digit code your app shows into the code field.
5

Enter your password

Type your Game Panel password in Account Password.
6

Click Enable

From now on, you enter a code from your app each time you sign in. Your security score on the Account page goes up.
Never share your QR code or text code with anyone. Anyone who has it can create your sign-in codes.

Troubleshooting

Codes change every 30 seconds. Type the newest code. If it still fails, check that the time on your phone is set automatically. Authenticator codes depend on the correct time.
Open a ticket from your FREAKHOSTING client area. We’ll check that the account is yours and help you get back in.
Before you reset your old phone, move your accounts to the new phone in your authenticator app, if your app supports it. Otherwise, contact us as above.
